I built a commuter bike (bicycle, not motorcycle)

Here's a pic.

Waiting for some lights to be delivered, then I'll start riding it to work. Good excercise. 🙂

Cool bike - it's too iced over/cold for me to ride my bike around here now, but have fun nontheles! (And if you're in one of the states where the temperatures actually drop under 32 degrees at least once a year, careful! :thumbsup😉

Nice. I took my Trek MTB I wasn't using for off-roading since my friend broke his ankle riding with me a few years ago and put some road tires on the mtb wheels. Made a great commuter bike. Much more resistant to flats but not as slow as knobbies.

Edit-I'm going to use it for commuting maybe a couple times a month or possibly once a week after the time change this spring. I don't like riding these SoCal roads at dusk or after the sun goes down.

Nice bike. I'm thinking about getting road bike. Right now I commute to work on a full suspension mountain bike. It's okay, but, it starting to hurt my back when I really step into it. How much did that bike cost you?

Try a hardtail with road tires. Personally, I find a mtb with riser bars (or even flat bars) more comfortable for daily commuting than a roadbike.

...and here I was thinking you broke out the welder and mild steel...

Looks like it should do the job quite nicely!

(Though I prefer a road bike to commute on myself.)
